Food Guide to Great Sex for Women

HEY! It can't hurt to try it!!!!

Eating the right food can help women achieve full sexual satisfaction, according to Marrena Lindberg, author of Orgasmic Sex. Lindberg claims a healthy diet supplemented by high-grade fish oil can increase women’s enjoyment of sex in as little as two weeks. In addition to fish oil, she suggests supplements of magnesium, iron, multivitamins, and even a piece of dark chocolate every day.

Lindberg believes a balanced diet contributes to healthy serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain, and says fish oil boosts dopamine and improves overall circulation. She suggests eating a moderate amount of foods containing saturated fat because she thinks they help maintain a woman’s testosterone level. “Quite simply, free testosterone puts a tiger in your tank,” she says.

Lindberg also recommends strengthening exercises for the pubococcygeus muscle, which is the muscle that controls urine flow and contracts during sex. She says many women know these exercises as “Kegels.”

She says to avoid caffeine, herbal stimulants, foods high in sugars and starches, hormonal birth control, soy, antidepressants, and omega-6 fatty acids. She recommends consulting a physician before starting the diet because fish oil can act like a blood thinner in the amounts she suggests, which for a woman weighing 130 pounds is a daily dose 1700 mg of EPA and 1300 of DHA.
